See setup guidance ↓Original source ↗ SOURCE REVIEW Reviewed 2026-09-21 Evidence 5 linked sources Publisher Anthropic Licence Apache-2.0 ↗ Revision 34040c9c5685 Read what was—and wasn’t—checked ↓ “Guidance for distinctive, intentional visual design when building new UI or reshaping an existing one. Helps with aesthetic direction, typography, and making choices that don't” Anthropic · upstream description ↗ Our analysis follows below. 01 / THE REASONING ## Why this made the selection. - Requires a compact design plan and a critique of generic choices before implementation. - Treats labels, errors and empty states as part of interface design rather than decorative copy. ### A good fit for - Designing a new product page or interface - Reshaping a generic prototype around a clear visual brief ### Weigh up before choosing - This is an opinionated design process, not a component library, usability study or automated accessibility audit. - Advice to vary familiar aesthetics must yield to an established brand or explicit user brief. 02 / THE REVIEW RECORD ## What we actually inspected. Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge. ### Material inspected - skills/frontend-design/SKILL.md - skills/frontend-design/LICENSE.txt ### Our findings - The source asks for color, type, layout and design principles before code, followed by a review against the brief. - It includes keyboard focus, reduced motion and mobile behavior in the quality floor and suggests screenshots where available. - There are no bundled runtime checks or helper executables in this skill directory. ### Not established by this review - Source inspection only; no skill installation or workflow execution was performed. The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior. 03 / PUT IT TO WORK ## Add a skill to your workflow.

It may retrieve a newer version than the reviewed source. - Install the complete skill directory with its references and helpers; a copied SKILL.md alone may be incomplete. - Choose the intended agent and project scope in the installer, then review its permissions before using the skill. ### Before you start - Node.js/npm for this installer - An agent that supports the Agent Skills format - A product brief and access to the target frontend; a browser is useful for review ### Compatibility Claude Code and compatible instruction-loading agents ### Read and edit frontend source - Read and edit frontend source - Optionally inspect rendered pages and screenshots ### Cost model The Apache-licensed instructions have no separate service fee; agent and frontend tooling costs remain separate. 04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE ## The source trail. Our notes are separate from the original resource.
